I think the important thing that it would be impossible to disprove a conspiracy, even if there wasn’t one, so that idea will always be alive.

But I’ve never heard a reasonable argument in favor of the magic bullet theory. This could only be resolved by non-circumstantial evidence which may or may not exist. Every release of evidence is important however, even if proof of a conspiracy is never found.

The bullet is only "magic" if you assume the Governor's seat is directly in front of and at the same height as JFK's. It isn't.

If you model the actual position of everyone in the car at the moment of that shot, it's a straight line from the sniper's nest through all the wounds it caused

I believe the jacket JFK was wearing was bunched up as well

The beauty about conspiracy theories is that #1 the government can never release documents that disprove a conspiracy theory (because they're the government and clearly those documents are an effort to further the cover up) - and independently released information that doesn't align with the theory could always be a government plant - thus see #1.

Fervently believed conspiracy theories die out with their believers or when people get bored.

The reason the conspiracy won't die is because the official story is totally implausible. Watch JFK Revisited
